Might be a while before I build him up is the issue, in the middle of moving house [to a place with a Garden!!] so might be easier to wait.. It'll only be a coupla weeks hopefully :wink: Give me a chance to get a decent post for it too!

In the meantime I'll post some photos of the F&F; the Forks really are amazing.. Amazing.. I sat looking at them for about 20 minutes when I got home yesterday.. Incredible.. And the colour is so right.. :twisted:

Yeah, that seatpost.. Never has one seatpost caused a man so much indecision.. The pewter colour is spot on; I do have a Ringle Moby in Pewter, but that will look wrong I know it.. Ideally, I'd have a Syncros Ti..? But I can't be done spending $$$ on a pin for this rig..

I have a Black Thomson 29.4 in my WishList on CRC.. :roll:

I'm more concerned about shimming a post in the frame to be honest.. It's a bit Whitney Houston*..

I had to ring Mark at Argos and thank him for the great job done; I keep getting the forks out of their Bubble Wrapping and checking them out.. Simply awesome..
